I've play through Mass Effect several times now and enjoyed it immensely and had this been game of the Year with the same candidates I think I might perhaps maybe would have given ME my vote over The Witcher. However, it is on the light side in the RPG department so The Witcher is clearly deserving of the RPG of the Year title in my book.

MotB and Two Worlds are still waiting patiently in my stash of purchased but not yet played games and I'm looking forward to playing them both when I have the time.

— "Chess in particular had always annoyed him. It was the dumb way the pawns went off and slaughtered their fellow pawns while the kings lounged about doing nothing that always got to him; if only the pawns united, maybe talked the rooks around, the whole board could've been a republic in a dozen moves."- Commander Vimes in Thud! by Terry Pratchett
